\begin{align*} &\text{In } \triangle PAM \text{ and } \triangle PAN, \text{ we have:} \\ &\angle PMA = \angle PNA = 90^{\circ} \\ &PM = PN \quad \text{(given)} \\ &AP = AP \quad \text{(common)} \\ \therefore &\triangle PAM \cong \triangle PAN \quad \text{(by RHS-criteria)} \\ \therefore &\angle PAM = \angle PAN \quad \text{(c.p.c.t.)} \\ &\text{Hence, the line AP bisects the angle between L and m.} \end{align*}
